There's been a nosedive in clothing quality in recent years. Even previously decent brands I've had to make returns when the dresses showed up looking like they were sewn from tissue paper. Tutorial from Bernadette Banner on finding decent quality clothes:

2024 was a heck of a year!

My major accomplishment was branching out into the IRL art scene and starting to sell at local art markets and events! I've learned *a lot* and hopefully that makes for a smoother, less fatigued 2025 so I can get more paintings done!

This is awesome. Designer Kevin Noki spends what must have been hundreds of hours building a 1980s concept of a tablet computer. Complete with floppy disk and emulated Macintosh Plus OS!

Tired: I need to achieve a consistent art style

Wired: My style cannot be divorced from who I am and my tastes will shine through no matter what I do

Inspired: I'm drawrin' a picher 😙🎵

Drake just signed a legal document acknowledging "Not Like Us" did him great harm.

Is this not the biggest defeat in hip-hop history?

I had the immense pleasure of creating the cover art for Alcest's 7th album, "Les Chants de l'Aurore". Neige asked me to reinterpret Sydney Long's beautiful painting "The Spirit of the Plains".

Here's a Spirited Away cake that I made for a friend's birthday. The condensation from the fridge made the eye candy pieces seep and some of the soot sprites look fully zooted, but I consider that a feature more than a bug
